Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever Will.

In those moments where I have no desire to study, I remind myself that I need to do it. Not for my parents or my friends, but for myself. Study because knowledge is power. Study because no one can take that away from you. Study because you want to know more. Study because it enhances you. Study because it helps you grow as a person.

You always have time for the things you prioritize in your life. So, don’t think about what can happen in a month or in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

My parents would never ask me for a penny and would find a way to pay for law school, even if it meant they did less for themselves. I would never be able to live with myself taking from those who deserve more in life. I feel like foreigners have two similar life goals and it’s to 1) make their parents proud 2) pay them back for all of the sacrifices.

Sweetheart let me tell you a bitter truth. because you should know. all my life before any decision I looked at my family and my parents.
for the same two reasons. I have to make them proud. how can I pay them back (paying back not in monetary term my dad strictly never took money from us which I think is extreme).
well.
I would just worry about them. they shouldn’t feel bad. are they happy with my decision and I would give stupid unnecessary sacrifices. the compromises they didn’t even ask me to make.

and now. here I am. 30. with my own baggage of health conditions. I lost my mom oct 2017 to cancer. and my dad isn’t well. he was already way older than mom.

now I look back and regret almost all the things I did just for them. it wasn’t require.
its reality parents leave. we stay here to live our decision. sadly its something we feel horrible to ever say.

these two reasons are stitched into our system and we are blinded to the truth.

It’s definitely a cultural thing and honestly, I don’t make as many sacrifices anymore. I just go on an live my life. Life’s too short to be big upset or frustrated about everything. I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom, sending all of my condolences to you and your family. I hope your Dad stays healthy. <3
